Ske, this may be a strong statement on my part, not aimed at you but in general. It's human nature for someone who likes computers, but isn't that knowledgeable under the hood, and most times doesn't need to be if they stick to the instructions of the provider operating systems to sometimes look for a program that can help them with updating stuff. In steps the usual con scammers to take advantage once again.

There isn't a legit 3rd party program on the internet that scans your system and then finds drivers you need. ALL of them are malware designed to enrich the scammers. I'm not going into a detail how destructive they can be in many ways, they don't care. Deal is, no one should allow a 3rd party program to scan their system, unless like malewarebytes, a trusted, proven and yet to be discredited virus software as well a quite a few more 3rd parties that have credited histories.

Microsoft doesn't even have a stand alone program for this. MS has it's own spying software for this.

The only true almost 100% safe way is to go to the devices home website to download their drivers directly. If people don't know where to go, chat board threads like this one are here to help. It's always good to do internet searches to read what others have posted about their experiences.

In this case, I'm glad you checked here before downloading that.
